A Message about Egypt and Ethiopia
20 In the year when King Sargon of Assyria sent his commander in chief to capture the Philistine city of Ashdod,[a] 2 the Lord told Isaiah son of Amoz, “Take off the burlap you have been wearing, and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did as he was told and walked around naked and barefoot.
3 Then the Lord said, “My servant Isaiah has been walking around naked and barefoot for the last three years. This is a sign—a symbol of the terrible troubles I will bring upon Egypt and Ethiopia.[b] 4 For the king of Assyria will take away the Egyptians and Ethiopians[c] as prisoners. He will make them walk naked and barefoot, both young and old, their buttocks bared, to the shame of Egypt. 5 Then the Philistines will be thrown into panic, for they counted on the power of Ethiopia and boasted of their allies in Egypt! 6 They will say, ‘If this can happen to Egypt, what chance do we have? We were counting on Egypt to protect us from the king of Assyria.’”

The Sign Against Egypt and Ethiopia
20 In the year that (A)Tartan[a] came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it, 2 at the same time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and remove (B)the sackcloth from your [b]body, and take your sandals off your feet.” And he did so, (C)walking naked and barefoot.
3 Then the Lord said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years (D)for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia, 4 so shall the (E)king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, (F)with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5 (G)Then they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and Egypt their glory. 6 And the inhabitant of this territory will say in that day, ‘Surely such is our expectation, wherever we flee for (H)help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?’ ”

Signo profético contra Egipto y Cus
20 El año en que llegó a Asdod el general en jefe enviado por Sargón, rey de Asiria, la atacó y la capturó. 2 Por aquel entonces mandó un mensaje el Señor a Isaías, hijo de Amós, en estos términos:
— Ve, descíñete el saco de la cintura y quítate las sandalias de los pies.
Así lo hizo [Isaías] y anduvo desnudo y descalzo. 3 Dijo el Señor:
— Lo mismo que mi siervo Isaías ha andado desnudo y descalzo durante tres años como signo y presagio contra Egipto y contra Cus, 4 así conducirá el rey de Asiria a los deportados de Egipto y a los prisioneros de Cus, lo mismo a jóvenes que a ancianos, desnudos y descalzos, mostrando sus vergüenzas.
5 Quedarán acobardados y avergonzados los que confiaban en Cus, los que se gloriaban de la amistad egipcia. 6 Dirán aquel día los habitantes de esta costa: “A esto han ido a parar aquellos a quienes pedimos ayuda para que nos salvaran del rey de Asiria. ¿Cómo nos pondremos a salvo?”.
